Bill Press: Beck a 'Ticking Time Bomb'; Warns Ailes Will 'Be Sorry' They Gave Him a Show
Newsbusters ^ | November 29, 2009 | Jeff Poor

Glenn Beck - he has one of the highest-rated shows on the top cable news network. He's had a number of bestselling books and he's called attention to some unsavory characters working in the Obama administration. Yet - he's somehow considered to be a risky business decision for the powers in charge at Fox News.

On CNN's Nov. 29 "Reliable Sources," host Howard Kurtz pointed out Glenn Beck accusing Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., of "hooking" for the so-called $300 million "Louisiana Purchase" provision of the health care bill.

"He's talking there about Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, who did get a provision in order to get her support for breaking the filibuster on the health care bill - $300 million for Louisiana," Kurtz said. "He said she was ‘hooking,' basically called her a prostitute."

It must be very hard to sit at the same table with Bill Press and keep yourself from calling him a moron to his stupid face. I couldn’t do it.

Leave it to extreme liberals like Press to know and to tell us what’s good for us.

I think guys like Press have this mindset that we’re somehow still in the era of Dinah Shore and Mike Douglas, and that anyone who steps beyond that genteel framework is the next Howard Beale.

I don’t always agree with Beck, and there are times where I wish he’d dial it back a notch or three, but that’s his style. If I don’t like it, I don’t have to watch. I refute the idea that he’s “a ticking time bomb” or that his statements are a threat to the public at large. Was comparing Landrieu to a prostitute nice? Maybe not. Was it inaccurate? Not if you believe she sold her vote. And it doesn’t even begin to approach the venom spewed by the likes of Olbermann or Maher. If anyone is likely to go Woody Hayes, it’s probably Keith Olbermann. How many times has he raved about Joe Lieberman being “The Senator from Aetna”?

He said she was ‘hooking,’ basically called her a prostitute.”

She is.
Albeit a very high priced one. And she got paid with OUR tax dollars.

To paraphrase Leno:

Beck called her a prostitute.
Limbaugh called her the most expenseve prostitute in the history of prostitution.

Eliot Spitzer called asking for her phone number.

When Bill Press makes such statements about Beck and fails to say anything about the hatred and venom constantly spewed by Matthews and Olberman, well, Press make himself look like a shamless, partisan hack, or an unobservant fool who's too uninformed to have a public forum.

BOOYAH!

If Bill Press(titute) is so aghast at what Beck is saying, then he should be sent into a coma by the rantings of Olbermann, Matthews, Maddow, et al.

Lying creep...

” Kurtz said. “He said she was ‘hooking,’ basically called her a prostitute.”

But calling half of America “teabaggers” on national TV is respectful behaviour?

Press said. ...explode in the face of Roger Ailes and they're going to be sorry they gave him that television show.

Translation: We are already sorry.

Not sure what Beck is at this point. EVERYONE on FNS is at least some part of the MSM.

Now, you may think that this is the end...

Then Eliot Spitzer realized that he cannot afford such *talent* and anyway, Landrieu looks nothing like his favorite *hot* consorts....
